All undressed and nowhere to go.

The shock hit Katara all at once and she murmured a silent scream. She felt at first like she couldn’t breathe, and the next minute everything became unfamiliar. Light hit her eyes and she had the sensation of swimming upstream and colliding against a surface. Zuko would have told her exactly how that felt: he did something similar when looking for Aang in the Northern Water Tribe territory. But Zuko wasn’t here right now and all Katara had for a frame of reference was the present fact that she needed to break free.

“LET ME OUT!!” The yell was muffled but coupled with her frustration ad drive it did the trick. She broke through and fell onto the floor gasping. She was covered in some sort of viscous fluid, and try as she might she couldn’t get it off the easy way with its apparent lack of water. She settled for wiping it off frantically, and when it was off she was even further disturbed to see she had no clothes. What kind of place was this anyway?! Of course, that was nothing compared to the next frightening sensation: the ground beneath her seemed to be pulsating as if it were alive. She yelped and jumped up, eyes wide.

And there was so much to see. It was almost as if she were back in the crystal caves of Ba Sing Se, but it was only a fraction similar compared to what she saw now. The machinery far rivaled anything the Fire Nation could have possibly created, because, honestly, everything seemed more menacing, alive. Alien was the first word that came to mind. Besides, they shouldn’t have to fear of the Fire Nation anymore: hadn’t Zuko become the New Firelord, ushering in a new era of peace and understanding? This had nothing to do with the Firenation: in fact, Katara doubted this place had anything to do with her world at all.

"Where am I?" She said aloud. To her further shock, she was answered.

||You are here.||

And the name came to her mind: Stacy. Stay-see. It sounded foreign, much like everything else in this place. The voice in her mind was even more disturbing, but she felt the warmth and emotion there too. Katara could only hope that was shown to people plopped here not of their own free will. She decided it would make more sense to keep walking, find out where she was, and there were lights all too pleased to lead her to a spiraling walkway. She would have been overcome with wonder at it all if she weren’t so frightened. Suddenly she was seized by vines and for a moment Katara breathed a sigh of relief. The swamp benders! They were playing some kind of joke on her: cruel, but still a little funny considering them. Of course, that hope went away as quickly as it entered her mind: they had no kind of technology equal to this, and they wouldn’t have taken her clothing.

The other pods in the distance were a clear indication of how NOT a joke this was: and the suit drive in the point. Now she found herself completely clean, even her hair, formerly gunkified with the alien liquid. She was happy to be on her feet again and further bothered to find no trace of water to be found. The tunnels went further down this place, and she looked at them in despair. This was a nightmare.

||You have been Chosen to accomplish a Great Purpose.||

That was something Katara could have gone without hearing. She was a great waterbender, but how could she make do in a place like this? She didn’t even know this place, or why anyone would take her, or how they’d even been able to do it in the first place! And hadn’t they already accomplished a great purpose, saving the world from Sozin’s comet? If only Aang…

Wait. It all became clear. If she were here, the Avatar had to be! There was no doubt if they brought her here, they brought him too, or at least he’d try to find her. And right now, more than ever, she wanted to see him. She cared about Toph, Zuko and of course her brother, but after all they’d been through, she desperately needed to see him.

She ran now, caring less about the moving floor or the strange place. No, she NEEDED to be with him again.

"AANG!" She called out desperately. "AANG!"

Sibling reunion, go!

Sokka had been, to say the least, shocked and dismayed by the sudden and abrupt awakening he received. Being chucked out of a gross pod-thingy covered in alien goop had not been on his 'to-do' list this morning and besides that? It was really, really gross. He had stumbled around, disoriented until a soothing, female voice had directed him in a certain direction. And without warning he had found himself dry, clean, and wearing the creepiest piece of clothing he had ever laid eyes on.

After that he had simply wandered off to slump against one (breathing?) wall to ponder his situation and hopefully plan a way out. He was alone, in a strange place (made of meat) without Katara, Aang, Toph, Zuko, or anyone else. Even the ever faithful boomerang was nowhere to be found. His reverie was broken by a familiar voice, calling a familiar name. He sprang to his feet. His little sister was here, and probably even more alone and scared then he was! He broke into a run, trying to find his way to her.

"KATARA!"

Sadly, because of her run, she doesn't hear Sokka. She's bound and determined to get an answer, and that answer (she hopes) might lay further ahead. So she kept running, hoping she'd get some clarification.

Sokka would just have to greet her in the weapons locker.
